In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. |

1. |
(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, |
2. |
Because there came to him the blind man. (i.e. Abdullah bin Umm-Maktoom, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs). |
3. |
But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? |
4. |
Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? |
5. |
As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, |
6. |
To him you attend; |
7. |
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). |
8. |
But as to him who came to you running. |
9. |
And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), |
10. |
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, |
11. |
Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, |
12. |
So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. |
13. |
(It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz). |
14. |
Exalted (in dignity), purified, |
15. |
In the hands of scribes (angels). |
16. |
Honourable and obedient. |
17. |
Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! |
18. |
From what thing did He create him? |
19. |
From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; |
20. |
Then He makes the Path easy for him; |
21. |
Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; |
22. |
Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again). |
23. |
Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. |
24. |
Then let man look at his food, |
25. |
That We pour forth water in abundance, |
26. |
And We split the earth in clefts, |
27. |
And We cause therein the grain to grow, |
28. |
And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle), |
29. |
And olives and date-palms, |
30. |
And gardens, dense with many trees, |
31. |
And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.), |
32. |
(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. |
33. |
Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrections second blowing of Trumpet), |
34. |
That Day shall a man flee from his brother, |
35. |
And from his mother and his father, |
36. |
And from his wife and his children. |
37. |
Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others. |
38. |
Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism). |
39. |
Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). |
40. |
And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; |
41. |
Darkness will cover them, |
42. |
Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). ********* |
